10. Covenants of the Executive.

(a) Confidentiality.

(i) The Executive recognizes that the Executive’s position with the Company is one of trust and confidence. The Executive acknowledges that, the Company has devoted substantial time and effort and resources to developing the Company’s business and clients, and that during the course of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive will necessarily become acquainted with confidential information relating to the clients or potential clients (including names, addresses and telephone numbers) of the Company, and the Company’s investments or potential investments in and/or financings and/or potential financings to be provided to these clients or potential clients, and trade secrets, processes, methods of operation and other information, which the Company regards as confidential and in the nature of trade secrets (collectively, “Confidential Information”). The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Confidential Information is of incalculable value to the Company and that the Company would suffer damage if any of the Confidential Information was improperly disclosed.

(ii) The Executive recognizes that because of the opportunities and support so provided to the Executive and because of Executive’s access to the Company’s Confidential Information, Executive would be in a unique position to divert business from the Company and to commit irreparable damage to the Company were Executive to be allowed to divulge any of the Confidential Information.

(iii) The Executive covenants and agrees that the Executive will not, at any time during or after the termination of the Executive’s relationship with the Company, regardless of whether termination is initiated by either Executive or the Company, reveal, divulge, or make known to any person, firm or corporation, any Confidential Information made known to the Executive or of which the Executive has become aware, regardless of whether developed, prepared, devised or otherwise created in whole or in part by the efforts of the Executive, except and to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to carry out the Executive’s duties for the Company. The Executive further covenants and agrees that the Executive shall retain all Confidential Information in trust for the sole benefit of the Company, and will not divulge or deliver or show any Confidential Information to any unauthorized person including, without limitation, any other employer of the Executive, and the Executive will not make use thereof in an independent business related to the business of the Company; provided, however, that the Executive has no obligation, express or implied, to refrain from using or disclosing to others any such knowledge or information which is or hereafter shall become available to the public other than through disclosure by the Executive.

(iv) The Executive agrees that, upon termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, for any reason whatsoever, or for no reason, and at any time, the Executive shall return to the Company all papers, documents and other property of the Company placed in the Executive’s custody or obtained by the Executive during the course of the Executive’s employment which relate to Confidential Information, and the Executive will not retain copies of any such papers, documents or other property for any purpose whatsoever.

(b) Non-Competition. The Company is in the business of processing and market milk, soybean and walnut products (the "Business"). Executive acknowledges that during his employment with the Company he will become familiar with trade secrets and other information relating to the Company and its Business, and that his services have been and will be of special, unique and extraordinary value to the Company. Therefore, Executive agrees that, during the Employment Period, and for one (1) year thereafter (collectively, the “Non-Compete Period”), he will not directly or indirectly own, manage, control, participate in, consult with, render services for, or in any other manner engage in any business, or as an investor in or lender to any business (in each case including, without limitation, on his own behalf or on behalf of another entity) which competes either directly or indirectly with the Company in the Business, in any market in which the Company is operating, or is considering operating at any given point in time during the Employment Period, or as of the end of the Employment Period if the Employment Period has ended. Nothing in this Section 10(b) will be deemed to prohibit the Executive from being a passive owner of less than 5% of the outstanding stock of a corporation engaged in a competing business as described above of any class which is publicly traded, so long as Executive has no direct or indirect participation in the business of such corporation.

 

(c) Non-Solicitation of Business. Executive will not, during the Employment Period, or at any time within the one (1) year period immediately following his termination from employment, regardless of whether termination is initiated by Executive or by the Company, for any reason, solicit or assist any other person to solicit, whether directly or indirectly, any business (other than for the Company) from any entity: (i) into which the Company has invested; (ii) for which the Company has provided financing; (iii) for which the Company has been engaged to provide any kind of services, including but not limited to, advisory services and providing financial analyses; (iv) that has either invested in, or participated in a financing for, a client of the Company; or (v) that has either been solicited by the Company to invest in, or participate in a financing for, a client of the Company.

(d) Non-Solicitation of Employees and Independent Contractors. Executive will not, during the Employment Period, or at any time following his termination from employment, regardless of whether termination is initiated by Executive or by the Company, for any reason, directly or indirectly (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee or full-time independent contractor of the Company to leave the employ or contracting relationship with the Company, or in any way interfere with the relationship between the Company and any employee or full-time independent contractor thereof, (ii) solicit for employment or as an independent contractor any person who was an employee or full-time independent contractor of the Company at any time during the Employment Period, or (iii) induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier or other business relation of the Company to cease doing business with the Company or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier or other business relation and the Company.

The Executive agrees that all innovations, inventions, improvements, developments, methods, designs, analyses, drawings, reports, and all similar or related information which relate to the Company’s Business, or any business which the Company has taken significant action to pursue, and which are conceived, developed or made by the Executive during the Employment Period (any of the foregoing, hereinafter “Work Product”), belong to the Company. The Executive will promptly disclose all such Work Product to the Board and perform all actions reasonably requested by the Board (whether during or after the Employment Period) to establish and confirm such ownership (including, without limitation, assignments, consents, powers of attorney and other instruments).

 

(f) No Conflict. The Executive represents and warrants to the Company that the Executive is not a party to or bound by any employment agreement, noncompete agreement or confidentiality agreement with any other person or entity or any other agreement which would prevent or limit his ability to enter into this Agreement or perform his obligations hereunder.

(g) Enforcement.

(i) The Executive acknowledges that the Company will suffer substantial and irreparable damages not readily ascertainable or compensable in terms of money in the event of the breach of any of the Executive’s obligations under Sections 10(a) through (e) hereof. The Executive therefore agrees that the provisions of Sections 10(a) through (e) shall be construed as an agreement independent of the other provisions of this Agreement and any other agreement and that the Company, in addition to any other remedies (including damages) provided by law, shall have the right and remedy to have such provisions specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction thereof. Accordingly, in addition to all of the Company’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, including but not limited to, the right to the recovery of monetary damages from the Executive, the Company shall be entitled, and the Executive hereby consents, to the issuance by any court of competent jurisdiction of temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctions, without bond, enjoining any such breach or threatened breach by the Executive. The Executive’s sole remedy in the event of any injunction or order shall be dissolution thereof, if warranted, upon duly held hearing in a court of competent jurisdiction. The Executive hereby waives all claims for damages for wrongful issuance of any such injunction.

The rights and remedies set forth in this Section 10(f) shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the Company under law or equity.

(ii) If at any time any of the provisions of this Section 10 shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable, by reason of being vague or unreasonable as to area, duration or scope of activity, this Section 10 shall be considered divisible and shall become and be immediately amended to only such area, duration and scope of activity as shall be determined to be reasonable and enforceable by the court or other body having jurisdiction over the matter, and the Executive agrees that this Section 10, as so amended, shall be valid and binding as though any invalid or unenforceable provision had not been included herein.

(iii) The Executive agrees to cooperate with the Company, during the Employment Period and thereafter (including following the Executive’s termination of employment for any reason), by making himself reasonably available to testify on behalf of the Company or any of its affiliates in any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, and to assist the Company, or any affiliate, in any such action, suit, or proceeding, by providing information and meeting and consulting with the Company’s Board or its representatives or counsel, or representatives or counsel to the Company, or any affiliate as reasonably requested; provided, however, that the same does not materially interfere with his then current professional activities and is not contrary to the best interests of the Executive. The Company agrees to reimburse the Executive, on an after-tax basis, for all expenses actually incurred in connection with his provision of testimony or assistance.

 

11. Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, including the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act and other relevant statutes, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless Executive against any actual action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, or administrative, arising by reason of Executive’s status as a director, officer, employee and/or agent of the Company or any of its affiliates during Executive’s employment or Executive’s status, if any, as a trustee or other fiduciary of any employee benefit plan sponsored by the Company or its affiliates.

13. Severability. Should any provision of this Agreement be held, by a court of competent jurisdiction, to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not render the entire Agreement invalid or unenforceable, and this Agreement and each other provision hereof shall be enforceable and valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.
